25/26 - Non Saints Games

[obelisk]

An extra couple of points on Tuesday would have been handy but now it just comes down to having to win two games and hope.

Bloody hell, Rochdale vs York 

Rochdale winner late on to get promoted, pitch invasion and mass celebrations. Order is restored and the game resumes, York equalise and are promoted instead.

Not necessarily. They are 5-1 up now. Wed have to beat Ipswich by two clear goals to go above Boro going into the last day. 

If we beat Ipswich by 1 goal then we'll be above Middlesbrough on goals scored going into the last game

Not true. Any win would do it.

Need Coventry to beat Wrexham tomorrow so Wrexham need a win final day V Boro...fuck me the permutations are starting to hurt my head 😂

Much easier if you mentally accept we're playoff bound.

Ipswich need 4 points, QPR home is a gimme, so they need a point tomorrow to make our game pretty irrelevant. WBA need a draw to ensure safety. I know what result my moneys on from WBA Ipswich…

Mystic Duck.

Ok, second is done.

That point is actually a big point for Ipswich. They win on the last day, we can't catch them. 

Likewise, Milwall.

They won't both fail to win, and we have to bear Ipswich three days after a game against Man City to even make it relevant.

It's done.

However, what will be quite annoying is if Mboro beat us to 4th. So, for that reason, I really hope we beat Ipswich on Tuesday. Which will mean, despite everything I said above, that I will go into the final day of the season thinking that we might get second!

[James G]

It's crazy to think though if we'd beaten Bristol City, second place would not be in our hands now. It shows you how close it's been

[LiberalCommunist]

Yep, Boro have now changed the parameters. There's no resting or rotating. We are now balls out all the way. And we'll just have to see where that puts us. Makes Downes suspension even more frustrating. 

The 3 o'clocks today look like the most inconsequential bunch of fixtures I've ever seen. Time for a break before the Pep love in starts. 

[Jimmy_D]

That Rochdale pitch invasion has to go down as the worst of all time? 😅

[LGTL]

Yes, that Boro result means we really have to go all out to get 4th. Which consequently means we could still get 2nd. Weird end to the season.

So it’s now confirmed that 84 points would’ve got us second place. Was always going to be unlikely, but if we’d won every game from last Tuesday onwards, we’d have got automatic promotion

Difficult to say that for certain as Ipswich weren’t going all out for a win today.

Imagine celebrating promotion, and then not going up. On a similar note it sounds like the blue few are celebrating today as if they had won the league….!…..oh well…..

AA should score

He's fucking useless above championship level. Don't know how anyone can't see that.

West Ham winning, spurs drawing.....
